changkyun is one of those coworkers you notice frequently but never really have the chance to interact with him
he politely nods at everyone in the officeâyou includedâand he seems friendly and professional from the conversations youâve overheard
from what you can tell, changkyunâs either laser-focused on all of his work or very introverted you learn later that itâs both
then, one day, changkyun comes up to your deskÂ
you answer his question about the project you were working on, not fully computing that changkyun was speaking to you for the first time
youâre almost intimidated by his appearance and deep voice, until he flashes you the cutest smile youâve ever seen
the more you cross paths in the office, the more changkyun will greet you with a âhelloâ or âhow are you?â instead of just a nod
at first, youâre not sure whether he likes you, as heâs still pretty quiet
but you start to catch on when he sits next to you in meetings or in the break room
he will usually start conversations with a random question, work-related or otherwise
despite how shy he seemed, changkyunâs amazing at making you feel comfortable
it isnât long before you two chatter quietly during meetings and even joke aroundÂ
you donât even get scolded when you two laugh loudly because everythingâs so shocked changkyun was loud LOL
speaking of nearly getting scolded
he messages you the most random questions/facts during work and it is always at the worst timeÂ
he doesnât intend it, but changkyun is a master of poorly timed â10 strangest deep sea fishâ article messages
itâs so endearing though so you donât get madâŠexcept for the one time the message popped up while you were presenting in a meetingÂ
everyone stifled their laughter when they saw it was from changkyun
he apologized before you could say anything :,-) because other people in the meeting asked him to send him the same link he sent you lmao
good luck working on projects with him <3
donât get me wrong ! heâs the best partner because heâd super hard working AND has an amazing, one of a kind mind
but sometimes itâs hard to keep up with his thought process
you have to figure out a balance of trusting him wholeheartedly even when you donât fully understand what heâs doing and knowing when to ask question after question until youâre on the same page
he has no problem explaining himself to you though !!
changkyun is refreshed by the fact that someone cares enough to understand whatâs going on in his mind :,-)
sometimes he even pre-plans his explanations in case you have questions :-( heâs so precious :-(Â
changkyun cares a lot about you too. like more than you realize
he gets so upset if youâre stressed :-(
even when you two barely know each other, it hurts his heart when youâre overwhelmed or down
heâll be a bit flustered, but heâll do everything in his power to make you feel better
changkyun gets to know what comforts you pretty quickly
you donât notice it right away because he isnât always asking you specific questions
but he picks up on the things you do when youâre stressed, making mental notes of ways he can support you
if you like to get yourself treats or bevvies when you need a pick-me-up, changkyun 100% keeps a list on his phone of all your go-toâs
he will absolutely blush and giggle shyly if you comment on how he knows you so well :,-) heâll say something casual but his heart is FULL of joy because he loves that you can see how much he knows you and cares about you <333
heâll fluster you plenty though
especially when he randomly drops really sentimental thoughts on you
or writes you a note expressing how much youâve helped him without doing anything other than just being by his side
like changkyun ??? it is 9:30 a.m. on a wednesday you canât just tell someone âiâm glad i took this job because without it i never would have met youâ
he cannot be stopped. if his heart feels warm, he needs to tell you right away because he doesnât want the moment to pass <3
once he gets that comfortable with you, changkyun considers you a friend friend, not just a work friend
so, as long as youâre comfortable with it, he starts suggesting ways to hang out outside of work !!Â
at first, all the suggestions are things like going to coffee shops, attending events for your shared interests, etc.
but he lets it slip one day that, even though he was really excited to go out on the town with you that friday night, he was so exhausted from the week that he wanted nothing more than to lounge on his couch and watch tv
so you said, âwhy donât we just do that?â
changkyun looks at you with complete and utter shock
ây-youâŠyouâd want to do that with me?â
you look at him with complete confusion because of course ??? what are friends for ??? also work WAS exhausting this week so you donât want to go anywhere either lol
his face LIGHTS up and heâs giggling with excitement at a chill night in with you
changkyunâs talking faster than youâve ever heard when he starts recommending shows and movies for you two to watch together and snacks to have and a âdress codeâÂ
you tell him to take a breath and that youâre sure the night will be perfect :,-)
he nods and stops himself from talking even more because he knows his work needs to be done, so he waves goodbye and says he canât wait for the week to be over
for the rest of the week, he messages you different links so you can pick out the content lineup
changkyun, looking so comfy in his hoodie, is buzzing when he opens the door to his place
youâre surprised and endeared because heâs so energetic when all you two plan on doing is sitting on the couchÂ
turns out quality time is a love language for him because you swear youâve never seen him happier :,-)
after all the laughs and calm moments, changkyun admits that he has never been happier than he was hanging out with you, so he hopes that you two can do this more often
your answer is obviously yes because changkyun is the sweetest and best person to hang out with <333
changkyun canât stop smiling because now itâs official: he can see his favorite person (you) every day and everywhere, so long as you want to see him which you always want to <3333
